Catalina's slew of bugs broke me, and I swapped my 2014 11 inch macbook air to Ubuntu 19.10 in November. Its not perfect, but I wouldn't go back. - It is very quick in comparison to macOS, it makes the 6 year old feel hardware new - Your experience of bugs depends on what you do of course, but from my personal experience it is much stabler than macOS - A lot of what I use is terminal based, or electron based, so I really don't have an issue with not finding software - The install process was seamless. I realise this is truer for old hardware than it is for new hardware, but given that my 2014 air was getting unuseably laggy with macOS, the choice was between buying a new, extremely expensive macbook to get acceptable performance, or using my old hardware with linux. If I were to replace it, I would do so by buying a cheaper, linux supporting laptop rather than paying for a macbook Despite the great work done on the linux desktop, Ubuntu 19.10 doesn't quite measure up to the 10.5-10.7 "golden era" of stable, elegant, developer friendly macOS for me, but it comes a lot closer than the last few macOS versions have. |
